What it means

The generated app worked in preview but lacked production-grade auth, data, env, payment, or deployment checks.

Most common causes

  • Preview-only data
  • Missing env vars
  • Weak auth boundary
  • Untested webhooks

Fastest fix

  • Reproduce the smallest failing case.
  • Check environment, platform, and production settings.
  • Use the related local tool to classify the issue.
  • Fix the highest-risk security or data issue first.

Safe fix

  • Keep secrets out of client code and logs.
  • Prefer least privilege and explicit allowlists.
  • Add a regression test or checklist before retrying.
  • Document the working production configuration.

What not to do

  • Do not disable security controls as a permanent fix.
  • Do not paste secrets into public issue trackers or AI chats.
  • Do not trust preview success as production readiness.

Diagnostic commands

git diff --check
